i’m sorry if you’ve already answered this but what are your pokemon named?
i dont openly call out my mon's name in big battles but i use their names freely at home when i let them out to play in the backyard and the pokepark.
gigalith: glamdring (or glam for short) he was such a little dramatic little pebbel
flygon: ah my first companion my grand-dad had a flygon i was lucky enough to get an egg of him after his passing i waited for days to him to hatch and when he did i named him Windshear.
sanaconda: i named him after the midgard serpant Jormungander (or jorm only leon is allowed to call him gandr)
and ofcourse my ace
Duraludon: he was probably my toughest catch leon was there, i fought him for hours and i wouldnt stop coming back, i suppose he respected that and he was the one that came to me. i named him Durendal
Turtonator: i named him after gamera he may be very threatning to look at but i sure yu he is very friendly when there isnt any battles
and the last but certainly not least, the sweet the cuddly the one who really makes it rain
goodra: i named her gooey i know its awfully cheesy but i cant help it shes my sweetheart and her goomies are the cutest i love the energy that she brings to the pitch and aside from flygon (show off) gooey is a fan favorite
(me and piers also have been raising a noibat and dino togeather but we wont have them joining in until much later )
